90,000...
 

A not big mileage number compared to many posters here, but our '01 X rolled over 90k Miles on our annual Oct run north to see DaKidz in NJ.

Crappy flash pic from my pocket cam... :confused:

2001 X continues to run right down the fookin road, and its remarkable handling capabilities allowed us, (the CEO driving), to miss a 20 ft extension ladder that lifted off a pos pickup truck in the middle of I-81, at 75+ mph, about 50 yards in front of our faces. :thumbup:

And, a pic of the CEO & I chasing the ball today with our Son & SIL, in south Joisey...

Congratulations MD! Proof that these cars can be dead reliable.

Cheers

Nice! Envious that you're still able to hit the fairways!!

:thumbup:

I especially love how your were driving @ 75mph while taking the shot! :rofl:

Congrats, mD. Mine hit 32k last week and will turn 10 next week.

Keep on truckin' :cool:

awesome stuff mD, congrats on the 90k, missing the "flying debris", and great looking family you got there!

Need a little gas?

And, hit 91,000 miles a few days later, rolling home to the Mtn house from NJ, yesterday.

We have ripped 3,000 miles on the ol'X, in two short road trips, in the past month.
Runs like a fookin top!

It's just broken in compared to a loaner I got from my Indie yesterday, which was an '02 X5 that got 225K+ miles on it!

Forgot how high revs the 5-spd manual gets at cruising speed. The 5-spd auto only revs at about 3K at 80mph for comparison.

Hokey smokes, I've got 152k on mine, and hoping it goes a long while more.

Me too, for both of us, Michael!
Hey, 3 cars and 3 scoots here; I can only put so many miles on any one of them, in a given year.

Hope you are doing fine!
BR, mD

I wish my X3 had that few miles on it!

You guys are pups!;)

Current:
2002 X5 3.0 243,000 miles
2004 325i 108,000 miles

Historically:
2001 325i 93,000 miles in 3 years
1995 Mazda 626 ES 5-Speed 106,000 miles in 5 years
1990 Mazda MPV 276,000 miles in 15 years
1981 Pontiac Bonneville Diesel (yup, a diesel) 264,000 miles in 15 years
1979 Monte Carlo 23,000 miles in 6 months
1978 Chevy Blazer 41,000 miles in 1 year
1970 Firebird 167,000 miles in 19 years (current restoration project)

Are you still on the original powertrain (ie. no major work on engine/transmission/transfer case, etc)?

I purchased it with 53,000 miles showing. It was a BMW lease return that lived its life in North Carolina, so I wasn't worried about winter time salt exposure. I did have to replace the front axles right away because the previous owner didn't pay attention to split CV boots. From there it was a final stage resistor at 78,000; an alternator at 126,000; then a front driveshaft and transfer case at 138,000 miles. That one was "unpleasant".

Aside from routine wear outs like brake pads, belts, hoses, and window regulators, that's been it. The differentials, transmission, and engine internals have never been touched! That includes no fluid change on the transmission too.

I will need to have the steering shaft U-Joints replaced soon and one of the fuel tank sending units must have gone wacko on me, but I can't complain about those as I approach a quarter of a million miles.

2002 X5 3.0 243,000 miles
2004 325i 108,000 miles

MD great to see that the X5 is still going strong.

Not surprising with your diligent care. Good work! :thumbup:

This thread is a throwback! I haven't seen some of these posters in ages! Congrats MD :)
